"Through My Tears (a.k.a. Message Sent)" Watch the wind blow your cigarette smoke Through my window and out to the sky This message sent, drilled into your heart But now the ink will fade Before the night is through my dear Where were you when the cracks were forming Where were you when it all caved in You were sleeping safe that morning Holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin And fade away All alone - another twisted moment's gone That will never pass this way again And through it all I thought there'd be some shred of hope But faith I've found will do you in And all the words that build into A bridge of love between me and you Will stumble, crack and fail to fly And now my only one, where have you gone Are you another heart that I must sing goodbye my dear Where were you when the cracks were forming Where were you when it all caved in You were sleeping safe that morning Holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin And fade away
I'm pretty sure I've seen a VHS of them playing this at the now-defunct Athens show-house The Ultramod. Much love for NMH and much love for the dearly departed Ultramod. (It was on MLK near College)
Two songs to expect from Jeff. The ones that make you feel like you're crying tears of joy while riding a burning rainbow over a peach colored sky, looking down at the Pacific. and the ones that sound like the playlist of a depressed college student who has sobered up from said LSD trip and will now kill his ex and her entire family.

One of those songs that would play during a scene of a film where a character is committing suicide, and you watch with fascination and awe because the song is so perfect.
Jeff being the Archangel on the wheel of good & evil on the cover of Blue Celosia by Garrett Snow explains why I became obsessed with his voice and music.
I can't believe no one realized that 1:48 - 2:37 became part of Oh Comely! "Goldaline, my dear, we will fold and freeze together, far away from here. There is sun and spring and green forever."
It is possible. He has broken apart and combined so many of his songs that I am sure they are all probably just different parts to one huge song in his head.
Older versions of Oh Comely never had the second, 'goldaline' section. Instead, that section was a part of a trilogy of songs which included 'Now There is Nothing' and this. Those songs in the trilogy probably evolved together, hence the similar chords
Pura poesia! Felizmente, tem gente que entende de música e considera o Neutral Milk Hotel uma das maiores bandas da história do rock! Tendo apenas dois álbuns! Conheci através de dois alunos, adolescentes, do colégio onde trabalho.
